I learned that itís much
easier when you only have to worry about yourself.

Describe what you did
and learned at your summer work site.

So far this summer I have
learned a lot more about satellites and their basic structure. I now
have extensive knowledge on what they do, how theyíre made, and what
makes them so important. At Boeing Satellite Development Center I have
had an opportunity to build samples (coupons) for a new satellite part.
Along with one of my mentors I was able to use the actual materials used
to make satellites and gain lots of hands on lab experience. I believe
the time I have spent at Boeing Satellite Development Center will prove
to be extremely beneficial.

What was your favorite
experience at NASA SHARP?

The NASA SHARP program has
held many exciting experiences. I have greatly enjoyed them all. Trips
such as going to the beach, amusement parks, and the mountains have all
been wonderful. But the experience that has truly been my favorite is
having the opportunity to live and spend a lot of time with the very
interesting people of the program. Socializing and sharing ideas with my
fellow sharpies at the dorms has given me a chance to learn a wide
variety of information and have a lot of fun doing it. This is
definitely my favorite part about the NASA SHARP program.
